It will return. For now, Thursday 8pm will be sparring focused on takedowns.Competition Class... with Coach Kiefer leaving for the summer, this class currently does not have an instructor and may go on hiatus for a while. Open to ideas.....

Currently In Stock:Basic boxing gloves ($25) in 16oz for men and 12oz for women.Basic shin guards ($25) in red or blue.Mexican-style elastic handwraps, $7.More stuff is on the way and as always we are happy to order anything from martialartssupplies.com or, preferably, combatcorner.com. We can always save you some money that way.

Pro Tip:If you don't wear handwraps for Muay Thai, think about it. If you do anything with your hands for work or are prone to injuries in the hand/wrist, you should be wrapping up to prevent injuries. We're happy to teach you how to put them on and at $7 it's a cheap investment in your health. Think of it as the mouthguard for your hands.
